The edited version is aimed at the schools that have already banned the book. The edited version uses the word "slave" to replace the n-word.
Does censoring the word give it too much power? Or does it prevent kids from feeling alienated at school?
There isn't a clear answer to me... The word effects everyone differently. In terms of literature, I prefer the unedited version. I believe it helps the story reflects it's proper societal context.
